What are your thoughts on taking a pay cut to land a more dependable job?

Answers

As long as you can live on the lower amount - why not? Something else to consider - how much do you like your current job and do you have reason to believe that you will like the more "dependable" job?

How much are you making now? And what is the pay cut? How shaky is the first job? So, you need to figure out which is best. If the pay cut is like $1 less, but the job is dependable, then why not? But, if it is much lower, it may not work. I want to be able to afford things too.
